Southern baby names - Give your baby the gift of his heritage, by giving him a name that reflects the great history and traditions of the South, with southern baby names

Link your baby to his southern heritage with a list of popular southern baby names. You can find a list of the perfect baby boy names and baby girl names on this handy web site.

Head to your local Civil War buff to get information on some of the great southern war heroes. Name your baby boy after one of these men to create a link between him and the history of the South.

Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee are some of the most important southern heroes. Naming babies after one of these men is one way many people link their children to their heritage.

Although these men are war heroes in the South, their names have less war like meanings. Jefferson actually means peaceful, while Robert means brilliance. Before naming your child after one of these men, you may want to look for further information on their lives, as well as their name meanings.

Another place you can use to locate information on the South is your local library. Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara seem as real to many southern people as the neighbor next door. These names have meanings as bold and strong as the characters that carry them. Rhett means enthusiastic, while Scarlett means bright red.

Other popular baby names with a touch of the South are Ashley, Beth, Edith, Edward, James, Mary, and William. All of the names on this list have great meanings.

If you want to combine history and tradition, you can try naming your baby after your father or mother. For a boy baby, you can combine the first name of his father with one of the famous names of the South mentioned above.

For a girl baby, you may want to create a link to the past by using the first or middle name of her father with “a” or “ia” on the end. Both boys and girls can carry on the maiden name of their mother when the new mother turns her last name into her child's middle name.

In fact, to give your baby a name a true Southerner would be proud of, try naming him after several relatives. Many people in the South have names that sound more like a list of family names, including their mother, their father, and a beloved aunt. When naming a new child, it is traditional for Southerners to stack names to create a link to older family members.

Finally, create a new tradition by buying a personalized blanket for the new baby. This baby bedding will help you proudly display your baby's name and information about its meanings for the whole world to see.

You can also include other information on this special new heirloom, such as the name of the mother and father and the new infant's birth date and weight.  Such a treasure is sure to become a family heirloom.
